Developing Your Elevator Speech

Project 3
Elevator Speech

An elevator speech is a brief, carefully planned, and well-practiced description about your company that your mother should be able to understand in the time it would take to ride up an elevator. According to Wikipedia an elevator speech should not take longer than thirty seconds or 100-150 words. The ultimate objective of the speech is to grab attention and make people want to know more about you and your business. Here are some examples of some elevator speeches along with a video I found extremely useful while creating my own elevator speech.

My name is Martin Rodriguez, I'm a consultant for Datatel and in recent years, Datatel has developed software that gives students the ability to plan classes for future semesters. This tool allows student to plan an entire degree plan for the future. Students can build a "road map" from their freshman days till graduation. I believe this my exit but here's my card, if your institution is interested, I would be more than willing to give you a demonstration of just how the software works, thank for your time and have a great day.
